"IN THE FACE OF ANTISEMITISM, JEWISH LEADERS MUST DISPLAY STRENGTH, CONFIDENCE AND DIGNITY.“ (AUDIO)

There are rabbis who teach Torah—and there are rabbis who carry their people through uncertainty, fear and profound change. Today, I am deeply honoured to welcome Rabbi Daniel Korobkin, senior rabbi and Mara D’Atra of Beth Avraham Yoseph of Toronto—the BAYT—and one of the most thoughtful and respected voices in contemporary Orthodox Judaism. For sixteen years, Rabbi Korobkin has guided one of Canada’s largest Orthodox congregations. He has celebrated with families in their happiest moments, comforted them in times of sorrow and led his community through COVID-19, the trauma of October 7 and the alarming rise of antisemitism across Canada. As a former president of the Rabbinical Council of America, Rabbi Korobkin’s leadership has extended far beyond the walls of his synagogue. He has defended the Jewish people and the State of Israel while insisting that Jews respond to hatred with strength, confidence and dignity—never allowing their adversaries to diminish who they are. Rabbi Korobkin believes deeply in a Judaism that is intellectually courageous and spiritually faithful: one in which Torah and scholarship, tradition and modernity, can strengthen one another. He has also worked to create a welcoming Jewish community, declaring with moral clarity that no Jew is worth less because they are not Orthodox. Now, as Rabbi Korobkin begins his final year at the BAYT before making aliyah with his wife, Karen, we reflect upon his remarkable journey, his love for Jerusalem and his enduring message to the Jewish people: Stand tall. Remember who you are. Protect your dignity. Strengthen your community. And always ask: What can I do to contribute to my people?
